*Telecom '99* Why are there no G*/LOR reps listed on the following List of Speakers or Forums? Isn't this 10/10-10/17/99 event supposed to be Globalstar's big coming out party? The real pisser -- there are many Iridium, ICO and Intelsat folks listed for various forums. Unless this is only the preliminary schedule and G*/LOR reps were later included in this program, I would like an explanation from G* management. djane

Session Title: Wireless Access: a viable option for developing countries
Satellite and terestrial wireless access technologies for fixed and mobile users have developed to the extent that makes almost all of them at least a viable option to consider when planning to build new telecommunication networks in developing countries or to enhance the existing ones. In order to achieve the best economical results it is necessary to take into account the special geographical and social-economic conditions of individual countries. Quite often it is also necessary to adjust the existing regulatory framework if it is inherently prohibitive for the introduction of new telecommunication technologies. The best approach to deployment of wireless access technologies usually varies from country to country. Besides discussing the advantages and disadvantages of technologies as such it is the intention of this session also to present successful examples of using these access technologies in several developing countries around the world.

Session Title: NEW TECHNOLOGIES - SATELLITE SOLUTIONS
This session is devoted to the developments of the satellite technologies which will allow satellites to play a more important role in telecommunication networks. In particular the session will focus on satellites with switching on board, intersatellite links, different orbital positions (GEO, MEO, LEO). With these characteristics the satellites will act as complete networks allowing end-to-end connections instead of being, as now, only network elements.
